So sorry for all of your loss during this difficult time. Mrs. Cooper was one of the best. She would have me come in her classroom in the mornings if I didn’t want to go too the gym. So kind and down to earth. She will be missed dearly . Praying for each and every one of you . May God give you all peace and comfort in the days ahead.
